Legal Information

This legal information page explains who operates this website, how that business is registered in the United Kingdom, what rules apply when you use the site, and what rights you hold as a visitor, learner or customer. It is written in plain English and is intended to be read together with the other policy documents published on this website. Last updated: 29 October 2026.

About this page and the operator of this website

This website, glitzary, is an informational and commercial resource dedicated to audiovisual production excellence. It covers broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering and streamlined production workflows for television networks and live events. The site offers written guidance, technical explainers, course enrolment and related services to broadcasters, production companies, integrators, students and independent professionals.

The operator of this website is a United Kingdom company. "Operator" means the legal entity that decides what content appears on the site, that enters into any contract with you, and that is responsible for the personal data processed through the site. The operator is not the same thing as the hosting provider, the software supplier or any third party whose services we may use to run the site. Those suppliers act on our instructions and do not decide how the website's content or data are used.

Identity of the website operator

The website is operated by Adlib Audio Limited. Adlib Audio Limited is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales. Its registered office and its company registration details appear below. Any purchase, enrolment, quotation or service agreement concluded through this website is made with Adlib Audio Limited unless we expressly state otherwise in writing.

Legal form and place of registration

The operator is a private company limited by shares, formed under the law of England and Wales. It is registered at Companies House, the United Kingdom's registrar of companies, and it is subject to the Companies Act 2006 and to the disclosure obligations that apply to United Kingdom companies. The fact that the company is registered in England and Wales means that its internal affairs, its filing obligations and the way it is recognised as a legal person are governed by the law of England and Wales.

Company registration number

The company registration number of Adlib Audio Limited is 03555097. This number is issued by Companies House and identifies the company uniquely. If you need to verify the company's existence, its filing history, its registered office address or the names of its directors, the registration number is the reference you should quote. A company registration number is a legal identifier only; it is not a contact route and it is not a substitute for our published contact details.

Value added tax (VAT) registration

The operator is registered for United Kingdom Value Added Tax under VAT registration number 477222243. Where VAT is chargeable on a supply of goods or services, it will be added to the price and shown separately on the invoice. The VAT number also allows business customers to verify the operator's VAT status through the official United Kingdom VAT checker and to reclaim input tax where they are entitled to do so. Prices displayed on the website are stated in pounds sterling and, unless clearly stated otherwise, are shown exclusive of VAT.

Responsible representatives

The people responsible for the management of the company are its directors, who are appointed in accordance with its articles of association and whose names are published at Companies House and disclosed in the company's annual confirmation statement. Directors, together with any company secretary appointed by the board, are the persons legally responsible for the content published on this website and for the company's compliance with its statutory duties. The operator does not appoint a data protection officer, but it does maintain an internal contact point for data protection matters, described in the Privacy Policy.

Trading names and business descriptions

Where a trading name, brand name or service line is used on this website, that name is used as a business or trading name only. It does not create a separate legal entity, and all obligations owed to you remain obligations of the registered company named above. If you are unsure whether a particular brand, course or service is supplied by the registered company, please ask us before you place an order.

Statutory footer information

The following plain-text line reproduces the statutory trading disclosures that must appear on this website:

Registered office and how to contact us

United Kingdom company law requires the operator to display its registered name, its company registration number, the part of the United Kingdom in which it is registered and its registered office address on its website and on its business correspondence. Those details appear in the statutory line above and in the footer of every page of this website.

Registered office address

The registered office of the operator is: 70 Kensington Way, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, WD6 1LQ, United Kingdom. The registered office is the official address at which legal documents, including formal notices and service of process, may be delivered to the company. It is a legal address of record and is not necessarily the place where our studios, warehouses, training facilities or delivery operations are located. Please do not send returns, equipment or correspondence to the registered office unless we have asked you to do so in writing.

How to reach us

You can contact us by email at info@giordanodesign.com. You can also telephone us on +44 20 8953 5963 during normal United Kingdom office hours. If you prefer, you can use the contact form on the Contacts page of this website to send an enquiry, a complaint, a data protection request or a request for a quotation. When you use that form, you will be asked to supply your own name, email address and message; we use those details only to answer your enquiry and to keep a record of our correspondence.

Response times and formal notices

We aim to acknowledge enquiries within five working days and to provide a substantive reply within ten working days. Requests made under data protection law are handled within the statutory time limits described in the Privacy Policy. Formal legal notices must be sent to the registered office address shown above, and notices sent only to a general enquiry inbox may not take effect until they are actually received by the responsible person.

Purpose, scope and intended audience of this website

The purpose of this website is to inform and to sell. It is designed for professional and semi-professional users working in audiovisual production, broadcast engineering, live event delivery, systems integration, education and related fields, and for students and enthusiasts who wish to develop their knowledge of these subjects. Content is published in English and is aimed at an international readership, although the operator's commercial relationship with you is governed by the legal framework described on this page.

The information published here is general in nature. It is not tailored to the equipment, safety requirements, licensing obligations, electrical standards, broadcasting regulations or contractual arrangements that apply to your own project. Where a course, download, template, commissioning service or consultancy is offered, any contract between us is formed on the terms stated at the point of purchase and on the Terms and Conditions of this website, which take precedence over general website content if there is a conflict.

Access to the website and acceptable use

Access to most parts of this website is free of charge. Access to paid courses, downloads, member areas or booking systems may be restricted to users who hold a valid account or a confirmed booking, and may be subject to additional conditions set out in the Terms and Conditions. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website, including free content, without notice.

Permitted use

You may view, download and print pages for your own private study or for internal professional reference, provided you keep all copyright and attribution notices intact. You may quote short extracts of our content, with clear credit to glitzary, in teaching materials, internal reports or commentary, provided the quotation is fair and proportionate and does not misrepresent our meaning.

Prohibited conduct

You must not: use this website in any way that breaches applicable law or the rights of others; scrape, harvest, copy or republish substantial parts of the site, including course materials, by automated means; attempt to gain unauthorised access to any account, server, database or restricted area; introduce malware, denial-of-service traffic or any other harmful code; resell, sublicense, rent or commercially exploit our content without written permission; misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any organisation; or use the contact form or course booking system to send unlawful, misleading, defamatory or unsolicited marketing material.

Accounts, bookings and credentials

Where an account is created, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity carried out under your account. You must tell us promptly if you believe your credentials have been compromised. We may suspend or close any account that we reasonably believe is being used in breach of these rules, and we may refuse enrolment or cancel a booking in the circumstances described in the Terms and Conditions.

Intellectual property, trademarks and permitted use of content

Unless stated otherwise, all content on this website, including text, diagrams, photographs, video material, course notes, slide decks, downloadable templates, illustrations, layouts, code and the selection and arrangement of these elements, is owned by the operator or is used under licence. This content is protected by United Kingdom and international copyright law, database rights, design rights and, where applicable, trade mark law.

The business names, logos, course names and service marks used on this website, including Adlib Audio Limited and its associated brand names and logos, are trade marks of the operator or of its licensors. Nothing on this website grants you any licence or right to use those marks, whether in advertising, in product names, in domain names, in metatags or in any other way that could suggest an endorsement, partnership or affiliation that does not exist.

Third-party equipment photographs, manufacturer specifications, screenshots and technical documentation are reproduced for the purposes of explanation, review and training only, and remain the property of their respective owners. Where we are aware of a particular licence condition we will indicate it near the relevant item. If you own rights in material that appears on this website and you believe it has been used incorrectly, please contact us at info@giordanodesign.com so that we can review the matter and, if appropriate, remove or amend the material.

Accuracy, availability and limitation of liability

We take reasonable care to ensure that the information on this website is accurate and up to date when it is published, but technical practice, equipment ranges, standards, licensing rules and legislation change quickly. Content may become out of date, may contain typographical errors, or may be accurate only for the equipment, software version, venue or regulatory regime that applied at the time of writing.

No substitute for professional judgement

Nothing on this website constitutes engineering, electrical, safety, legal, tax, financial or regulatory advice, and nothing here should be relied upon as a substitute for a site-specific risk assessment, a qualified engineer's sign-off or advice from a suitably qualified professional. You remain responsible for the safe design, rigging, power distribution, testing, licensing and operation of your own systems and events.

Availability

We aim to keep the website available at all times, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. Access may be interrupted by maintenance, updates, network or hosting failures, security incidents or events outside our reasonable control. We may also withdraw, modify or restrict access to any part of the site at any time.

Limits of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of contract, loss of opportunity, loss of anticipated savings, loss or corruption of data, or any indirect or consequential loss arising out of or in connection with your use of this website or reliance on its free content. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total liability arising from your use of free website content is limited to one hundred pounds sterling.

Nothing on this page excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for breach of the terms implied by section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in relation to digital content supplied for a price, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

External links and third-party content

This website may contain references or links to third-party websites, manufacturer pages, standards bodies, training providers, event organisers, software vendors and social media platforms. Those links are provided for convenience and for further reading only. We do not control those websites and we are not responsible for their content, their availability, their security, their accuracy or the way in which they handle your personal data.

Inclusion of a link or a third-party name does not imply endorsement of that organisation, of its products or of its views, and any dealings you have with a third party, including any purchase, booking or licence, are between you and that third party. We encourage you to read the terms and privacy notices of any external site before you use it or provide personal information to it.

Data protection and cookies: related policies

The operator processes personal data in accordance with the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 and, in relation to electronic marketing, website analytics and cookies, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 as they apply in the United Kingdom. Full detail is provided in the separate policies published on this website, and the following plain-text cross-references are given so that you can locate them easily.

Privacy Policy: explains the categories of personal data we collect when you browse, enrol, purchase or contact us, the lawful bases for processing, how long we keep information, who we share it with, how we transfer data outside the United Kingdom, and the rights available to you, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability.
Cookie Policy: explains the cookies, local storage items and similar technologies used on this website, their purposes, their duration and how you can accept, refuse or manage them through the cookie banner and your browser settings.
Terms and Conditions: set out the contract between you and the operator for the use of this website and for the supply of courses, downloads, consultancy and related services, including the rules on accounts, booking, cancellation by us, and your obligations.
Payment and Refund Policy: explains accepted payment methods, when payment is taken, invoicing and VAT treatment, how refunds are calculated for cancelled or rescheduled courses and events, and the timescale for processing refunds.

If you have a question about how your data is handled, or you wish to exercise a data protection right, please write to info@giordanodesign.com. We will normally respond within one month, although that period may be extended where a request is complex, as explained in the Privacy Policy. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the United Kingdom supervisory authority for data protection.

Consumer rights, complaints and dispute resolution

Where you buy goods, digital content or services from us as a consumer, you benefit from mandatory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. These rights include, where applicable, a fourteen-day cancellation period for distance contracts, clear pre-contract information, protection against unfair terms and the right to goods, digital content and services that are of satisfactory quality and match their description.

If something goes wrong, please contact us first at info@giordanodesign.com or on +44 20 8953 5963, or use the contact form on the Contacts page, and describe the problem clearly. We will acknowledge your complaint and try to resolve it quickly. If we cannot reach a satisfactory outcome, you may wish to use an alternative dispute resolution provider, although we are not obliged to participate in an alternative dispute resolution procedure and we do not currently subscribe to one. Nothing in this section affects your right to bring a claim before the courts or, where appropriate, through the small claims procedure.

Company law, trading disclosures and compliance statements

As a United Kingdom company, the operator must display certain information on its website, order forms and business letters. This includes its registered company name, its company registration number, the part of the United Kingdom in which it is registered and its registered office address. Failure to comply with these obligations is a criminal offence for which the company and the responsible officers may be liable. The statutory line in the footer of this website is provided for that purpose.

The operator also complies with the Provision of Services Regulations 2009, which require providers of services in the United Kingdom to make available their name, legal status, business address, contact details, complaint routes, VAT number, applicable terms and conditions, governing law and jurisdiction provisions, and details of any professional liability insurance that they are required to hold. Where the website is used to conclude contracts electronically, the operator complies with the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 by describing the technical steps that a customer must follow to place an order and by keeping the contract terms available for storage and reproduction.

The operator supports the aims of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and expects its suppliers and sub-contractors to act ethically and lawfully. Where the company meets the turnover threshold for publishing an annual slavery and human trafficking statement, that statement is published on this website and a prominent link to it is placed on the home page. The operator also maintains an anti-bribery position consistent with the Bribery Act 2010, prohibits the offer or acceptance of improper payments in connection with its business, and expects customers and suppliers to report any concern of that kind to the email address above.

Applicable law, competent courts and consumer dispute rights

These legal notices, the use of this website and any dispute arising out of or in connection with it are governed by the law of England and Wales. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, and the parties submit to that jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer and you live elsewhere in the United Kingdom, this does not deprive you of the protection afforded to you by the mandatory consumer law of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that part of the United Kingdom. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, nothing in this clause prevents you from relying on the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings before the courts of your place of residence. If you are a business customer, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 does not apply.

Changes to this page and last updated

We may amend this legal information page from time to time to reflect changes in our company details, our courses and services, our technology, or in the laws and regulations that apply to us. The current version is always the one published on this website. Where a change is significant, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention, for example by placing a notice on the website or, where we hold your contact details and the change materially affects your rights, by sending you an email.

If you continue to use the website after a revised version has been published, the revised version applies to your use. If you do not agree with a change, you should stop using the website and, if you hold a paid service that is materially affected, you may contact us at info@giordanodesign.com to discuss the options available to you, which may include cancelling the affected service in accordance with the Terms and Conditions and the Payment and Refund Policy.

Any question about this page, about how the website is operated, or about the registered details of the operator can be raised by email at info@giordanodesign.com, by telephone on +44 20 8953 5963, by post to 70 Kensington Way, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, WD6 1LQ, United Kingdom, or through the contact form on the Contacts page.
